1951 MOON PHASES and POSITIONS 
Many gardeners like to govern their planting by the phases of 
the moon, For them, we show here all the necessary informa- 
tion generally shown by more voluminous arrangements, As 
seedsmen, we cannot vouch for the effectiveness of this 
method, but we are glad to provide this complete and up- 
to-date chart for those who want it.

When to Plant 
The tables at right show when the moon enters each 
sign of the Zodiac. It also shows the moon’s changes. 
Under each month, we show first the time at which 
the moon enters each SIGN (day of the month and hour 
of the day, Central Standard Time). Then we show the 
moon CHANGES (day and hour) for each month.
